Kirk Cousinsâ attendance at voluntary workout sessions surprised many, including Atlanta Falcons officials. Despite ongoing trade discussions and his desire to move to a starting role elsewhere, Cousins committed to showing up, which may benefit him in the long run. With reports suggesting the Falcons are still open to trading Cousins for a deal that alleviates some salary cap pressure, his performance in voluntary workouts could sway opinions. Teams like the Steelers and Vikings are potential trade candidates. Ultimately, the Falcons are preparing to move forward with Michael Penix as their starter regardless of Cousinsâ fate.
Yet there he was Tuesday, which I do give the veteran quarterback credit for. On the off chance that Cousins is with the team throughout the 2025 season, any work he can get in... helps Cousins with his case that he's the reasonable party here.
The likeliest outcome, though, is still a trade. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported recently that teams have had conversations with the Falcons about a swap... take on $20 million of the $45 million remaining in guarantees.
